The Great American Divide

New York Times Opinion Project

The coronavirus crisis has underscored our enduring inequalities in race, wealth and health. “The America We Need” is on Opinion project focusing on how we can emerge out of the current crisis with a fairer nation. ‍

"You don’t have to look hard to find inequality in America. For the past several weeks I have been sheltering with my family in Central New York, where even among the rolling hills and sweeping expanses of farmland, the vast divide between the haves and have-nots is as plainly visible as it is in New York City. The United States has a chance to emerge from this latest crisis as a stronger nation, more just, more free and more resilient. We must seize the opportunity.”
